    6.0/4l80 build

    so picked up my lq9 and 4l80 the other day. couple quick questions on the transmission.

    what kinda tq are guys putting through the stock units/hows it working out?

    what upgrades are available/and through who?

    and I want to run a manual valvebody for a ratchet shifter, what are people using and how do they like it?

    Thanks Guys!!

    I put the 80e in with the HD2 shift kit, vacuum mod kit and 3500 9.5" converter. I just put it in OD and mat it when I launch. I let the PCM control it, it thinks faster than I ever could.

    FWIW, here's my build data. Not saying it's the right way, it's just how I did mine and it works for my 5000 lb pig. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/mecha...0e-update.html

    stock 4l80 will take a lot of abuse. probably wont need to change it up much until you bump up the 6.0.

    a converter wouldnt be a bad investment though and you'll definitely pick up some accel
